tinent becomes inevitable, and consequent
changes, the magnitude and cost OF which no
man can guess, of the policy which has gov
crned the development Of the whole country
for half century Is now to be alb olishcd.
The Interstate law, as the Commission now
iuterprets it, declares that this gigantic rev.
olution in industry and trade shall take place,
cost what 1t may. The exception which tho
Commission makes, namely, in favor of com
petition with water rontes and with foreign
lines only renders more grave tho change else
where. For instance, wheat can go by lake and
canal from Chicago, and thereforecan be car
ried by railroads at lake and canal rates, If
they please, but from farm between Chicago
and Toledo 1t can 90 only by rail, and therefore
only at rates governed by the local rates over
the same lines One point has possible water
route for its supply Of iron ore, and so can
get orc by rail at water rates the next has no
possible water route, and local freight rates
mayclose all furnaces and mills at that point.
How many firms are TO 10 bankrupted, how
many costly works are to be abandoned how
many towns and even cities are TO be gradually
torn down and built elsewhere in obedience
TO this singular enactment 7

POTTLE And SHARP.

In spite of strong objections from the nu-
merous and expensive lawyers employed by
Jacob Sharp, testimony that throws an impor-
tant sidelight upon the accused mans char
actor was put before the jury yesterday after
noon. The witness was a man named Potuc'
now employed In one of the Government De-
partments In 1883 he was engrossing clerk
of the New York Assembly. Ho testified THAI
when the original draft Of the General Rail
road act was In his hands Sharp sent for him
and offered him $4,000 to insert the words
broadway and Fifthaye." in certain section
This being declined, the same sum was offered
If he would hand over the original bill to Sharp.
There was q long argument over the adlnissi-
biity OF the evidence. The Judge rightly al
lowed it to he given, because in case Of this
kind good deal of dependence must be placed
on ctroumstandal evidence, and IL, In present
ing this, proof Of another crime Is adduced, that
Is clearly not the prosecutions fault The trans
action Is one that Sharp might naturally have
engaged In, although ordinarily he is hardly
90 direct and straightforward In his methods OK
doing business The witness evidently had no
desire but to tell the truth, and his testimony
was not at all shaken on cross examination

PFTOJUTTOE ny LAW.

What is to be the effect Of tho Interstate
decision No one can answer with certainty
as yet. though the Inv has been In force for
moro than two months. But the railroads have
manifested disposition In nearly all cases 10
regulate their action for the time according 10
the Commissions Interpretation Of the law,
leaving the courts to determine, after litigation
necessarily prolonged, whether TINT intcrpreta-
ton Is correct. The companies do not want 10
subject themselves ncedlessly to prosecution
by United States authorities For some timo
To come, whatever the Commission may think
the law requires, the railroads are likely 10
make their rule Of action
The phrase under substantially similar cir
cumstanccs and conditions might have meant
almost anything. Following some English
precedcnts, the Commission holds that it does
not excuse any determinations in rates between
through and local traffic, between traffic from
or to competing and traffic from or to
non competing points, or between shipments
connected with special branches Of business or
localities, the development Of which Is dc
sired, and other shipments. This involves n
startling change in the conditions, not only Of
transportation, but of many important indus

Interpretation Of the act is to be strictly fol-
lowed few can realize
Ever since railroads came into being, 1t has
been held sound policy by nearly all railroad
companies to encourage by especially favoring
rates, the development Of population, OF trade.
and Of resources along their routes, and es-
pccially to encourage industrial establishments
which, if successful, would insure largo and
permanent traffic to the companies favoring

favored in rates, It's owners can develop, build
furnaces, and compete vigorously with other
mines. A town will grow up, and many de-
pendent manufactures and the heavy and
permanent traffic thus secured, railroad man
ayers reason, will richly repay some sacrifice
OF profit on shipments Of ore or fuel. In cases
far too numerous TO mention or 10 estimate,
and In every part Of the country this policy
has been pursued for many years by railroad
managers as the wsest, and the very existence
Of vast multitude Of manufacturing or mining
establishments. and even Of towns and cities,
depends upon tho continuance Of that policy
In the same way and for tho same reason the
development Of other branches Of industry
has been in like manner promoted Many thou

great number of villages in farming districts.

designed to encourage settlers there. Wheat

TITO RELIGIOUS LEADERS GONE.

Ex- President Mark Hopkins and President
Roswell D. Hitchcock, who died yesterday.
,rcro men whom American Christianity could
i'll afford to lose. OF Mark Hopkins it may be
said that he was perhaps, with the exception OF
tho late DR.. DeKoven, Of Racine College, the
best type Of Christian teacher that this coun
try has yet produced. Differing radically from
DR. DcKoven In his conception OF the Church
he agreed with him in believing that the moral
ideas of Christianity must be the foundation
of any true education And like Dr. Do kovcn.
too he possessed in n marked degree the power
TO win the confidence and hold tho love OF
young men, which Is so necessary in teacher.
Although Dr. Hopkins was never ordained he
frequently preached. and always felt that he
had q religious message for the students in
trusted to his care but under no circumstances
did he ever cause offence by his delivery OF
that message It was his aim to inspire thought
rather than to impart II. And there Is not an
alumnus Of Williams College today who docs
not feel that he ~ better man for having
known this kindly, loving Christian teacher.
President Hitchcock's achievements in the
great department Of theological education have
won him not only rcnown In this country, but
feSpfCt1Ol recognition III ii' h'eh'"
only one element that Is sometimes supposed
to be n characteristic Of great thcologians.
namely, the odium theologicum, but few to day
will mourn The absence Of that Taught from
his childhood TO believe in and revere tho
orthodox Congregational creed, he never
swcrvol In that belief and reverence. At the
same time, he was so catholic In his grasp OF
great religious ideas, and so charitable In his
attitude toward other religious systems, that
he came at last TO represent much wider
Christianity than tic dogmas OF his own de
nomination. and on many occasi ons spoke
with authority for The composite Christianity
Of American Professionalism. Tho great tho
illogical school in which no was 80 many years o
professor, and Of which he has been for the
last few years the hononcd PRESIDENT will feel
deeply the loss Of this catholic minded and
accomplished scholar And to the people OF
us city DR.. ntchcocl's death will also como
with sense Of loss. They will remember his
patriotic course during tho war, and his deep
interest in all questions that related TO the well

mons last night Clause 2 Of the Crimes blu
(which deals with the proclaiming Of dangerous
asso6iations) was under consideration when the
hour named in the motion arrived If tho Irish
members had intended to Insist on division
on each of the remaining clauses they aban-
doned this policy, by which nothing but delay
would have been gained. and left the House as
soon as the first division was ordered Not
one of them voted. Clause was passed by
332 TO 1853, and when the announcement was
made the Gladstonians also withdrew. The
other clauses were at once adopted and the bill
passed the committee stage. The action OF the
Panellite members, it will be seen by Our
special cable dispatch, was an emphatic protest
against the arbitrary course agreed on by the
majority They had intended that Mr.. Justin
Mccarthy should make brief statement In
their behalf, but the urgency resolution did
not allow evon moment for anything in the
nature of a personal explanation.

TILE CLEYELAND CLIMAX.

Mr.. Cleveland cannot be said to have sprung
the disgraccful order for the return Of tho
rebel flags upon the American people. He led
UP to it. He had prepared the boys in blue and
all other patriotic Americans for that superb
feat of toadyism to tho lost cause of rebellion
by series of lessor performances of the same
off color
President Cleveland had suffered notorious
vilifer OF the beloved Lincoln to be made Il
pension clerk.
President Cleveland had allowed the weaIer
of a scarf pin which had been fashioned from
the skull of Union soldier to hold posi-
ton in one of the departments.
President Cleveland, on the death of Jake
Thompson, the arch secessionlst who had
robbed the Government and conspired to burn
Northern cities, had insultcd the American
flag by having 1t displayed at half mast over
the Interior Department.
President Cleveland had appointed TO tho
Russian Mission Confederate officer, who
evinced his contempt for reconstruction by
neglecting or refusing to have his own polit-
ical disabilities removed.
President Cleveland had written an ELUSIVE
letter for the unwilling Of a monument to
Albert Sidney Johnston the other feature Of
the exercises being speech by jefferson Davis
and Johnston being one Of the most conspic-
uous Of the deserters Of the United States Army.
President Cleveland, on q similar occasion
had composed another letter intended for the
public eye in which John G. Calhoun was
commended as q statesman
1t was by such and many similar steps that
President Cleveland reached his climax Of
applied coppeiheadism. And because his long
suffering, good natured countrymen who are
loyal to the backbone paid small heed to what
he did, remembering that his own and his
party's record rendered his toadying to the
South-the old South-the most natural thing
in the world, he thought he could venture with
IMMUNITY to NEEDLE with the flags which
Union soldiers had captured from traitors.
He knows better now. He docs not cut as
